Abiquo 5.4 introduces Firewall policies for Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Abiquo firewall policies are GCP Firewall rules and they belong to VPC networks (Abiquo global networks). Administrators can onboard firewalls when they onboard global networks. |
To display Firewall policies in GCP, go :
Go to myCloud → Global view
...
Select the GCP provider
...
andselect a global network
Go to Firewalls.
...
In GCP, there is no firewalls tab in the Location view and this is different to other providers, such as Microsoft Azure.
...
When users configure a VM, if users have the privilege to Assign firewalls to virtual machines, Abiquo displays all firewall policies (assigned to the VDC and at the Global level). The user experience here is exactly the same as for all other providers.
...
Users can create a firewall policy in the myCloud view in Virtual datacenters or in the Global view. See See the GCP entity naming conventions in https://abiquo.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=311378206 for details of acceptable firewalls names. GCP Firewall rules must be in a single direction (ingress or egress) and type (allow or deny). You can add multiple protocols in the same firewall direction. And you must set a priority, where the default is 1000, and lower numbers have higher priority. You can also enable firewall logging.
